Coming out of their first off day, the Los Angeles Dodgers fell flat in an 8-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals at Camelback Ranch. The eight runs were the most the club has allowed in any Cactus League game this year.
Julio Urias was less than sharp in his third appearance of the spring, allowing five runs (one earned) on two hits over 2.1 innings of work. He did strike out five batters, however, and was able to bounce back from a sloppy first inning in particular.
The left-hander revealed after the game that despite the results, he was pleased with his timing while pitching out of the stretch.
